I love tuna melts. But I usually go with chopped celery and sliced pickles. And I always add a little Ms. Dash to my tuna mix. Seasonings make the meal. Sometimes a little pepper, paprika, lemon juice.

Homemade is WAY better than anything Subway or Quiznos can do.

And a lot better than what Dennys passes off as a tuna melt. ( there's still no emoticon for :ewwww: )

why do you put salt on it when you are putting soy on? don't they basically do the same thing?

only if you are good at it. i used to make darn good subs at home myself, but i like those italian subs with pastrami, salami, pepperoni, swiss/provolone, italian dressing, and funky bread. the upkeep at home gets to be way too high for me, because that stuff goes bad fast (some), costs as much as the sub place if you buy it in really small portions, and is not something i feel i should really be eating often enough to keep all the stuff around. if only my family would eat them too... oh well. i'll just stick with quizno's, myself.

gotta salt the water the rice cooks in

other wise you just have a layer of flavor from the soy sauce, but no deep depth of flavor like you do from the salt.

that's a good point. not to stray too far OT, but why can't you put soy in the rice while it cooks instead of salt? wouldn't stay white rice for long... but would it taste OK do you think?

Sometimes it's just easier to get fast food, but if you have the time (and the talent), it's worth it to make it yourself.

I do that a lot with pasta (or rice). Add the sauce before it all the way cooked. Trying to get the pasta to absorb some of the sauce. Sometimes it kinda works, sometimes it doesn't.

Most white rice is just bleached brown rice anyway.

Hm, makin' me hungry. Gonna go make some fried rice. Toss in some Ramen noodles (teryaki and oriental). Some vegetables. Kinda like stir fry... only not as good. Still better than take-out.

ahh. sweet.

there are a couple places in nyc that have some sandwiches like that... but they're veggie restaurants in general. not just sub shops with veggie (not just a sandwich full of vegetables) options...

is that place a vegetarian restaurant? or a sandwich place?

actually, it's a vegetarian sandwich and smoothie shop. they use a lot of tofu, hummus,, sprouts, soy, etc. great wraps and hogies, and the best veggie burger in the world (home made, half pound, BBQ sauce). now i'm hungry.

scem0 · Jun 30, 2003

The best sandwich is just white bread, TONS of mayonaise, and TONS of ham.

Perfection.

Well, can't beat ramen, but a ham sandwich is pretty damn good.

How about whole wheat multi grain, great flavor, and a good source of fiber! I still think that you could us the Ramen Noodles to make a salad mixture for a sandwich!

i feel like an idiot. I was at my favorite little Vietnamese restaurant, and i ordered the soup. its like a gallon of soup. accompanying the soup is a plate of toppings like flat lead greens, bean sprouts, etc, and a green pepper. I thought it was a jalapeno which I can handle heat wise. I would later find out it was a green Serrano pepper; the same kind used to make Sriracha, except a different color. That thing lit my mouth on fire! I felt really stupid asking for a pitcher of water

Serranos are nothing. Try nibbling on a Scotch Bonnet. Cooked diced Scotch Bonnets make the best salsa out there, just don't cook them inside or the Bush administration might bomb your house for having chemical weapons

Serranos are a lot when you are expecting a jalapeno

And wear the rubber gloves when you cut them up, or don't wipe your eyes for about 2 days with your fingers. I've got a small bottle of Dave's Ultimate Insanity sauce for when I'm feeling brave. It's got habeneros mixed with capsicum... you know, the stuff they put in pepper spray. Tasty.

As for a ramen sandwich.... I suppose you could make the noddles (probably sans flavor at this point) then drain well and fry in a non-stick pan with a little oil for maybe 3 min a side over med high heat. I do this with fresh Chinese noodles all the time for a stir fry alternative to rice, but I'm pretty sure you could do it to ramen. Now whether you actually want to put something like this between 2 pieces of bread and eat it... thats up to you, but it should be possible to make a ramen sandwich.

a definite way for to make the sandwich would be to take maybe semi cooked ramen noodles, mix in a bowl with like 1 nice sized egg. Mix the egg well through the noodle. maybe add a bit of flour, like a 1/2 tablespoon. Mix it well and then form into a semi-square. saute in oil or butter and it should get firm after a while. then put it on bread

Sort of a noodle frittata I suppose.

I underestimated the power of the Scotch Bonnets. I cooked up some diced ones for salsa inside. It was kind of like all the air in my house was sucked out and replaced with mace. Damn good salsa though, it was worth.

Just be careful and don't eat too much of the salsa. Caspacin consticts the blood vessels and can cause some odd effects when you eat too much.

i'm gonna have to find me some of that hot sauce, but for now Mamoun's on McDougal St in the Village has the best kebabs and the best hot sauce...

as far as sandwiches go, this is my favourite.

Corned Beef, Beetroot (beets) and Salad Cream (kinda like mayo)

dead good...

ooh, of course there's the classic english brekfast of:

Fried Egg and Bacon, with red sauce (ketchup) or brown sauce (HP, a bit like A1), followed by a nice cup of tea. luv'ly

LOL, werd. My best friend always wants to go to ***** Mamouns when we get hammered. Doesn't matter where we are, he's like:

"Yo, I want a fal-hic- falafel from Mamouns. Let's go - hic."

-"No stupid, we're in Brooklyn."

"Oh. beef patty then...."

nah.

I am forced to eat multi-grained wheat organic (add any healthy word here) bread all the time. It just doesnt have the same goodness of unhealthy, white, squishy bread.

Have you tried to make a Ramen Noodle salad yet to use for sandwich? I agree with the squishy part of white bread, but no flavor!
